BIG IP DNS synchronization

Hi everyone,

 

When we have a two BIG IP DNS devices in site a and need to perform synchronization between them what are the needed configuration,

 

1-Is HA between devices matter should be configured ?! devices have DNS provision no LTM nor ASM

2-From new DNS device we will perform gtm_add <existing DNS device IP> and this will replace GTM configuration on new appliance with configuration existing on DNS device also exchange certificates, anything else required ?

3-What about if we create a zone record, datacenter will that be synced ?!

4-in case of configuration under GSLB like datacenter and servers, we have to enable synchronization under settings GSLB and thats it ? or have to add current BIGIP and other one as servers first ?!

5-what exactly meant by 

5-According to zone synchronization it is not related to configuration sync under GSLB and will by synced by define a slave zone ?!

6-I notice when making normal HA configuration like in LTM zone synced from first DNS appliance to second one

    Hello Ahmed.

     

    Actually, DSC sync and DNS sync are independent.

     

    These are some requirements

    And this is an example of configuring DNS sync
